“at the direction of the staff captain, the crew injected him with the sedative Haloperidol...”

Since when are cruise ship staff (or anyone for that matter) authorized to administer an injection without consent?

In international waters, the Captain’s consent is all that is required.

The cruise line will settle out of court to stay off the news. But they were wholly justified in their actions.

Since when are cruise ship staff

All major cruise ships have onboard medical centers with licensed doctors and nurses available 24/7 to handle emergencies and routine issues.

The guy was huge, morbidly obese, extremely intoxicated, and violent.

I don't know what the proper way would have been to deal with him without somebody getting seriously hurt. Sounds like a no win situation for the cruise line.

Also, most large cruise ships have onboard morgues, which are refrigerated storage facilities, often resembling stainless steel rooms with drawers.

That's good to know I guess....LOL!

Oh, come on. It’s in the cruise contract. They’re on the high seas, that’s Maritime law jurisdiction. You can only get further from Woke by going to Antarctica or on Mount Everest.

Ships Captain has absolute authority.
